Calculate the ABC competitive output level Given that ABC is exerting a negative externality and its socil marginal cost of production is estimated to be MC= 0.4Q, if the market price remai the same at shs. 40. Calculate the socially optmal level of production for ABC if the government imposes an excersice tax to bring about optimal level of production, calculate the level of tax to be imposed and total tax revenue

Show the market for cigarettes in equilibrium, assuming that there are no laws banning smoking in public. Label the equilibrium private market price and quantity as Pm and Qm. Add whatever is needed to the model to show the impact of the negative externality from second-hand smoking. (Hint: In this case it is the consumers, not the sellers, who are creating the negative externality.) Label the social optimal output and price as Fe and Qe. On the graph, shade in the deadweight loss at the market output.
Draw a standard supply and demand diagram for televisions, and indicate the equilibrium price and output. a. Assuming that the production of televisions generates external costs, illustrate the effect of the producers being forced to pay a tax equal to the external costs generated, and indicate the equilibrium output. b. If instead of generating external costs, television production generates external benefits, illustrate the effect of the producers being given a subsidy equal to the external benefits generated, and indicate the equilibrium output.
Do market demand curves reflect positive externalities? Why or why not?
What is a pollution charge and what incentive does it provide for a firm to take external costs into account?
Refer to Table 12.2. The externality created by the refrigerator production was 100. However, once we accounted for both the private and additional external costs, the market price increased by only 50. If the external costs were 100 why did the price only increase by 50 when we accounted for all costs?
